13 To Start Afresh 2 12 (1/2)
KKKS! KKKS! KKKS!
['User' successfully rebooted. System resetting... ]
Eddra remained his eyes shut, quietly and patiently holding back like a predator waiting for its prey. Once he would hear the signal, Eddra needed to wait for the right time, at the right place, for him to be able to move and charge for the attack, just within the split second.
”Hehe.” The signal was on, and what Eddra had to do was to move simply before it launches.
In an instant, Eddra opened his eyes and was followed by sitting straight on his bed and the sudden thrust of his hands as he grabbed the prey from her waist.
”Kya!” Allie squealed when Eddra raised him and lowered her down on the floor. ”Brother, do it again!” she beamed.
Smoothly pulling himself off his bed, standing beside the small figure around his waist, grasping her hands in the air, asking for another raise. Granting her youngest sibling's wish, Eddra took her up in the air for the second time, and once again, she squealed loudly, unable to control her happiness.
As Eddra stopped and brought her on his arms, he walked near the window for the third time, watched the servants as they place the white table cloth on the wooden long table.
Ding!
[Location: Town of Piethe]
”... Allie,” he called her name.
”Yes, brother?”
”Am I dreaming?”
Allie titled head to the side. ”Why did brother think he is dreaming?”
”This felt so surreal...” Certainly, his three years of age sister must be confused about what he was saying. How dumb of him to ask her?
Shortly, her sister then opened her short arms and hugged his head. ”Is your head warm now, Big brother?”
”Yes...” was his answer, closing his eyes as he felt her little sister's warmth from the hug she just gave him.
”You are not dreaming because I woke you up already,” she whispered behind his ear. ”Congratulations on becoming a... an...” Allie pulled off her arms on his head.
”Adult,” he corrected, facing to her sister.
”Yes—an adult!”

[You have attained the Hidden Interface!
*Hidden Interface(s) may contain (Hidden) Side Quests.]
A foreign color of a plate showed before his eyes. It may be also translucent with the silver border, however, the color was gold of the plate, unlike the white ones that were appearing to him before.
[Scanning the Hidden Interface(s)... ]
A sudden cough sounds were heard coming from behind, which stopped Eddra from surveying the plate's contents any further, revealing the butler in all smile as he stood by the entrance door of his room. ”I see. The Lady impatiently wants to greet her brother first,” he beamed, ”I hope the Lady would not mind joining the family members downstairs while her older brother prepares for the celebration.”
”Okay!” Allie answered and Eddra put his sister down from his arms. Soon as her tiny feet set on the floor, she ran away through the door that the butler opened for her.

When he noticed that the time duration of the plate was divided in half, before Gale would even move from his position, Eddra commanded him, ”Gale, order the servants to move the table inside at once. I'll give you ten minutes to finish the task.”
The force to reset, the changes in his status, and the time duration that was divided in half. Certainly, the [System] wanted something from him, but what is it?
”... Yes, Milord.” The butler left immediately and closed the door behind him.

'All of my family members?' Eddra shook his head to the impossible task that was given. He wandered to how could he check his father's status if he was a few hundred miles away from his location—for an hour? That would be impossible. He at least needed to arrive at the Centre of Glenmore, the place for aspiring people who wanted to become mages and the place that had the nearest teleportation circle. Even that place was a hundred miles away from their residence. Is he going to reset again? Well, that might be the case—again.
He took a deep breath, Eddra was neither convinced nor had a hard time believing his circumstance anymore. ”... [Status].” Eddra commanded, the least he could do was to check the family members living in the house, and he was the nearest of all.
